Suryakumar Govindjee vs Krishnammal And Ors on 26 April, 1990

The learned counsel for the appellant has placed reliance on a decision of this Court in Suryakumar Govindjee v. Krishnammal and Ors., [1990] 4 SCC 343, wherein part materia definition of 'building' contained in clause (ii) of Section 2 of Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960, came up for the consideration of this Court wherein the structure was described as 'kaichalai', a tamil word denoting a structure or a roof put up by hand. This Court held that whatever may be the precise meaning of the term 'kaichalai', it was clearly included in the definition of building. The expression 'hut' cannot be restricted only to huts or cottages intended to be lived in. It will also take any shed, hut or other crude or third class construction consisting of an enclosure made of mud or by poles supporting a tin or asbestos roof that can be put to use for any purpose - residential or non-residential, in the same manner as any other first class construction.

Certain observations made by this Court in Ashok Kapil v. Sana Ullah (dead) and Ors., [1996] 6 SCC 342, are also apposite, wherein the term 'building' as defined in U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction Act, 1972 came up for the consideration of this Court. The definition is not similarly worded. However, during the course of its order, this Court quoted with approval Stroud's Judicial Dictionary (Vol. 1, 5th Edn.) stating that 'what is a building must always be a question of degree and circumstances'.
